SCHOOL TROUBLE.

Ii tigation has come out of the trouble
that exists over the purchase of the new
seats for the school in district No. 7, in
the town of WATERFOWL. The parties in
the district who considered the changing
of the seats piece of unnecessary extra
vagance, have taken legal proceedings
for the removal of E. Zeidler, the CLERK
of the district, for not calling special
meeting to take into consideration the seat
question. The first time the case came
up before Judge Colonus it was thrown
out of court because proceedings we're not
commenced in proper shape and the mat
ter comes up again Wednesday, Novem-
Der g. The seats condemned by the school
board, a specimen of which may be
seen at VIM. Schulte's Office, are GER
tainly not fit to use on school or any
where else for human beings to sit on.
We do not speak OF them in this way be-
cause they are worn and not nice in ap-
pearance, but from the fact that being of
such peculiar make and form it is mild
torture, to say the least, for children to
have to sit upon them. And further, the
whole fuss is about the expenditure OF $40
for new seats and teachers desk The
district can we'll afford to purchase seats
and provide all that is necessary for the
accommodation and comfort of the schol-
ars. When all the outlay is paid the dis
trict will have 800 in its treasury. @.
Fl. Gardner is counsel for the school
hoard.

CHICKENS HOME TO Ru0ST.

The Touring mill of Gay & Jones at
Portage burned early last Wednesday
morning The loss was about SIS, 900 with
insurance of ST. 900. 1t was the only mill
of the kind 10 the city.
1t will be remembered that the Portage
firemen present here at the burning of
the Rough and Ready mill, were quite
boastful of what they could do under
similar circumstances and spoke in
derogatory terms of the Watertown fire
department and its work on that occasion.
There was fine opportunity for the Por-
tage fire department at this mill fire to
show that the members could do some
thing more than blow and criticise fool
isbly. We will let The Portage Register.
which was also very "fresh" in its COM
ments on the shortcomings of the Water
town department, tell in its own words of
the utter want of capacity that existed in
the Portage fire department in this case
of emergency, as follows:
"Upon arriving at the scene of the fire,
the Silsby took water at the platform on
the river bank near by, and was red hot
prepared to pump the Visions dry il
need be-but there was delay of hall
an hour before the hose was gotten into
position so that a stream Of wafer could
be thrown. For some reason the Silsby
BOYS did not turn out with their usual
alacrity, and as there were very few other
men present because of the singing cold
the hose was not handled with customary
rapidity and effect. This company has
received severe censure from the public
to-day for not turning out more men,"
